I am writing
this letter in hopes you can share our story and help us make a few simple
changes in our society.

I have a
proposal for you. I would like your help in spreading a message about stopping
the “R” word. I was flabbergasted when watching a movie the other day and an
actor made a joke about a baby looking like a “retard” and “even a little down
syndrome like”. On no level of comedy should that be acceptable. Hollywood
actors or anyone for that matter should not be allowed to use such comments in
movies and/or television. You can be funny without ridiculing a child with
special abilities.

It would be
a dream if just one of you could pass on the message to not use the “R” word.
You can show my Carter’s face and mention using the “R” word as comedy
literally rips my heart out. I am a mama trying to do my best to make my boy’s
world a bit more open minded, accepting and loving.

I kindly ask
for your help in spreading the message. Thank you with all of my heart for
taking the time to read my letter. We hope to hear from you.

Our little first born ran the show on his first day of Pre-school. Walked into the classroom with poise and confidence like a professional. Every day since has been pure excitement for him when he goes to school. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the grabbing onto my leg for one last hug and kiss, one last good bye. Now my brave boy waves goodbye and walks with his head up high ready to start the school day. And this mama walks away hanging her head, holding back the tears because she knows, her little man is growing up. He is finding his independence and I am so proud.

We have a very busy week with four days of pre-school, swim therapy and Hippo (horseback riding) therapy. We are constantly going which makes our weeks fly by. (Hence the lack of blogging.) We are excited about Carter's school year and his busy therapy schedule.

Will keep ya posted on the rest of our lives here shortly. PS. Nolan has received the memo that he is SOOOOOOOOOOOO defiantly two! Oh my!

Met up with the fam to do lunch and a little stroll on the beach. Our September has been beautiful with sunshine every day, making us think it is still summer. We were also lucky to meet Uncle Josh's new lady friend, Bridget. She is a very lovely lady! We hope to see her again!

About Me

My husband Eric and I met in 2004 in college and married in July of 2006. We gave birth to our son Carter Nicholas on December 2nd, 2008. Carter was diagnosed with DS shortly after birth. What we thought to be the scariest moment in our lives has turned out to be the most joyful experience we will ever know. Our child enlightens our lives daily and I can honestly say if you meet him, he will change your life as well. My goal in my lifetime is for you to see Carter not the DS, he is no different from you, he just happens to have been blessed with an extra chromosome.
In August of 2010, our family expanded. Carter became a big brother to our sweet little Nolan Joseph. Thanks for reading about our adventures!
